From what you've said before, you have personal experience with why people get het up about soulbonders. Someone like Andy Blake claims he's channeling a spirit, and he gets other people around him and gets them thinking they're doing the same, and then he uses that to manipulate them for money and sex. (Apparently, KYM's prescribed solution to cult-related abuse is to make fun of people on the Internet. That's its solution to most problems, granted . . .)

For most of the rest of the folks KYM picks on, it all sums up to http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/432790-otherkin + http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/891520-otherkin. For the former case, note how completely out of proportion the comments are compared to the original post. Some people get really, really worked up when they think someone is "faking" and "doing it for attention."

*rubs temples* This is very very true. I hate folks like Andy Blake for making my life and education work harder than it needs to be. STOP RUINING SHIT FOR US.

That said, there are also plenty of "sane" people who start cults, and they don't all get painted as cult leaders. It's mostly just frustrating for me, because it can directly impact my quality of life.

Yeah, and I've gotten burned for that a few times. It's why I kinda try to be as boring as possible in my batshittery, these days.

Though the second link annoys me because it's WRONG! I've known plenty of soulbonders with NPC and Random Hench #3 members! Or members who just try to avoid ever saying who they are because they're either mortified of it or don't want to deal with the shit. If all Sephiroth ever does is watch Discovery Channel and do the dishes, nobody has to know.
